Product details
Overview
SIHB15N65E-GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is a 650 V, 15 A N-channel enhancement-mode Power MOSFET in D2PAK (TO-263) package, featuring RDS(on) = 0.28 Ω at VGS = 10 V, Qg = 96 nC, and avalanche-rated (EAS = 286 mJ). It delivers low conduction and switching losses for high-efficiency 650 V SMPS and PFC stages in telecom and server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SIHB15N65E-GE3 datasheet, SIHB15N65E-GE3 pinout, SIHB15N65E-GE3 application, or SIHB15N65E-GE3 equivalent, this device is selected for high-voltage hard-switched topologies requiring robust UIS capability, low Ciss (1640 pF), and thermal performance with RthJC = 0.7 °C/W.
Technical Context
This E-series MOSFET uses planar stripe silicon technology optimized for 650 V operation, with gate charge profile engineered to balance turn-on speed and EMI control - Qgd/Qgs ratio of 1.9 supports stable dv/dt immunity during commutation. Its body diode exhibits trr = 325 ns and Qrr = 4.6 μC at 25 °C, enabling moderate-frequency synchronous rectification in LLC resonant converters.
The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, with VGS(th) = 2–4 V ensuring reliable gate drive margin using standard 12 V controllers. Its dV/dt rating of 37 V/ns at TJ = 125 °C confirms suitability for fast-switching industrial inverters where parasitic turn-on must be avoided.

|---|---|---|---|
| STW20N65M5 | RDS(on) = 0.23 Ω, Qg = 65 nC, lower Ciss (1350 pF), no specified EAS rating | Better efficiency in high-frequency ZVS designs but lacks avalanche ruggedness for hard-switched PFC | Prefer STW20N65M5 when gate drive capability is limited and fault energy is externally managed |
| IXFH15N65X2 | RDS(on) = 0.32 Ω, Qg = 62 nC, higher EAS (350 mJ), TO-247 package | Superior avalanche robustness and thermal mass, but larger footprint and higher layout inductance | Choose IXFH15N65X2 for high-reliability industrial drives where board space permits TO-247 mounting |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SIHB15N65E-GE3 at 100 °C case temperature?
The SIHB15N65E-GE3 supports 10 A continuous drain current at TC = 100 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This derating reflects thermal limits of the D2PAK package and ensures safe operation under sustained load conditions without exceeding TJ = 150 °C. The SIHB15N65E-GE3 maintains RDS(on) stability across this range due to its positive VDS temperature coefficient.
Does SIHB15N65E-GE3 have a fully rated avalanche capability, and how is it tested?
Yes, SIHB15N65E-GE3 is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS) at 286 mJ, tested per JEDEC JESD24-11 with VDD = 50 V, L = 28.2 mH, Rg = 25 Ω, and IAS = 4.5 A. This validated ruggedness allows the SIHB15N65E-GE3 to absorb inductive energy without failure in unclamped inductive switching circuits such as welder output stages or relay drivers.
What is the gate threshold voltage range for SIHB15N65E-GE3, and why does it matter for gate drive design?
The SIHB15N65E-GE3 has a VGS(th) range of 2–4 V at ID = 250 μA, ensuring reliable turn-on with standard 10 V gate drivers while preventing accidental activation from noise. This margin allows use with 12 V controllers without risk of partial enhancement, and the SIHB15N65E-GE3 remains fully enhanced across its operating temperature range due to stable threshold characteristics.
Can SIHB15N65E-GE3 be used in synchronous rectification applications, and what body diode parameters support that?
Yes, SIHB15N65E-GE3 supports synchronous rectification via its integral body diode, characterized by VSD = 1.2 V at IS = 8 A and TJ = 25 °C, trr = 325 ns, and Qrr = 4.6 μC. These values enable predictable reverse recovery in quasi-resonant LLC converters, and the SIHB15N65E-GE3's low Qgd helps minimize shoot-through risk during dead-time transitions.
What thermal resistance values define the cooling requirements for SIHB15N65E-GE3 in PCB layout?
The SIHB15N65E-GE3 specifies RthJC = 0.7 °C/W (junction-to-case) and RthJA = 62 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, no heatsink). For 34 W power dissipation, a 25 °C rise above ambient requires ~35 cm² of 2 oz copper connected to the drain pad. The SIHB15N65E-GE3's D2PAK thermal pad must be soldered to a minimum 0.420″ × 0.355″ copper area per Vishay AN826 recommendations.
